Hey Justa -- They're BBAAAAACCCCKKKK!!!!! Never thought I'd EVER have a reason for wanting the weekend part of the week to end faster, but these self-proclaimed geniuses are doing a good job of providing one. Hopefully they will vanish again tomorrow, just like last week. In the meantime, I think we should all keep in mind the Mark Twain quote which aptly describes the bashers: "It is better to remain silent and let people think that you are stupid, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt." Regards, Robert

Justa, Hey, LIG, define "bear market" as Brinker defines it. Let's see how good a listener you really are and see if you can muster some PHD type of analysis to make your theory work. Bob defines a bear market as a 20% drop. However, he appears willing to hedge even on this definition as 19.6 would not qualify and he would prefer to call this something else (e.g., "intermediate term correction"). Why one would be unwilling to ride out a 20 percent drop in the market but be willing to ride out a 19.6% drop is beyond me. best... LIG
